Chương 178: Title trouble

Alex and the girls had gathered in one of the spare rooms, he sat on one side with Rias and Kuroka while Grayfia respectfully stood behind them. On the other side sat both Yue and Anne, both wondering what Alex wanted to talk about. Anne had heard about Alex's intentions to turn Yue into a member of his peerage, but didn't understand why they were also being serious towards her. Yue was worried that she was going to be sent away or even worse, sealed up again. Alex cleared his throat and said,

"I wanted to talk to you two about something I've been keeping from both of you, but first I'll start with Yue's topic." The petite vampire princess tried not to look nervous as Alex held something out, what looked like a crimson game piece. A second later Yue recognized it as a chess piece.

"This is something called an evil piece, in the world the four of us came from these were used to reincarnate other beings into Devils in order to serve the master that reincarnated them, or the 'king'. Each piece has a certain trait thats granted to the person it's given to, for example speed or strength. This piece grants a boost to magic power, the bishop. So far the only three I've granted evil pieces to are Rias, Kuroka, and Grayfia, as you can see I don't treat them like servants, but as lovers and companions."

Yue was silent at Alex's words, as she took in everything he said. She understood that technically he was trying to turn her into his servant, but that would be more of a title difference instead of entering actual servitude. The main point she cared about was that he apparently wanted her to always stay with him. She didn't even care about the fact that he said they were from another world, it wasn't that hard to realize with their unique magics, and she would leap at the chance to follow him since there was nothing left in this world for her. Alex reached out with the bishop piece in his hand and she also realized something else, if he treated his servants like his lovers, and this was her agreeing to always be with him, wouldn't this be a...

"Proposal!" Yue said, as the evil piece vanished from Alex's hand at a speed even he couldn't see, she then lunged forward and pressed her lips against his for their first kiss. He himself blanked at what she said and the feeling of her lips, while the other girls went wide eyed, as the evil piece was activated and Yue became the next member of Alex's peerage. A second later a pair of wings sprouted out of her back, causing her to break off the kiss and look behind herself curiously. Seeing how she and Anne reacted to the wings, Alex smiled and activated his own while Rias, Kuroka, and Grayfia did the same.

"All Devils have wings that look like a bats, in the same world there's angels and fallen angels with white and black feathered wings respectively." He then put his wings away, as did the other girls, before Yue turned her attention back to him. Though she dismissed his earlier words of another world, she was still curious and asked,

"What's the other world?" Alex smiled, and explained,

"This actually brings me to my next topic, I'm hopping between worlds for a competition. Anne is another contestant, but since we're friends we are traveling together. As a member of my peerage you can follow me to these other worlds when usually you can't, but I found a way around this to bring a lot of people with me." Yue looked curious at his words, while Anne went wide eyed before Rias explained,

"You didn't think we were the only ones in his harem, did you?" When she head this, Anne narrowed her eyes at Alex and for the first time started generating some genuine bloodlust. She calmed down a moment later, and sighed as she started thinking to herself. She had been anticipating meeting Alex again for twenty years, and she didn't want to throw those expectations aside just because he had several women, but how could she stand out and not just be 'one of the many'? She was broken out of her thoughts as Alex started explaining how he managed to bring many people with him, even though she couldn't tell where they were.

"One of my abilities is called Asora, it's a world connected to my soul that travels with me, when I hop worlds whatever's inside follows me in relative comfort. I started recruiting various people to live there as well, and I'm planning to invite some of those we meet that desire a better life for themselves and their families there, but not everyone since it'll be too many people to manage." As Alex finished speaking, Grayfia spoke up,

"Anne, Yue, there's also many understanding people there that are welcoming, we would all love to have you in our home." Both girls looked up when they heard this, Yue as she would like a place where she could call home again; and Anne because it sounded like Alex was following the same ideals she did through Asora. Plus, through interacting with the girls following Alex she did realize how lonely she would be by hopping worlds and never being able to maintain any of the friendships she formed. Alex then clapped his hands, and said,

"I'll let you guys digest that a bit before we keep going on about it. Not necessarily right away, but I will bring both of you there in the future, I'm just waiting for things to settle before doing so since there's a lot going on. Let's move onto something more exciting, what's your status say Yue?" After a brief explanation Yue understood what her status meant, that it was similar to the status plate used in Tortus. She then said,

"Status!" And a screen popped up in front of her.

When Alex saw Yue's status he was impressed, she even had the option of getting the 'Master Mage' job without the earlier stages of it. But there was one thing that worried him.

"'Crotch Smasher'?" Was all she said, which made Alex sweat, apparently nicknames from the series itself could carry over, possibly because of the fans themselves. Rias then acted as if she suddenly remembered something, and said,

"Oh yeah, I noticed that when the system added titles not too long ago. Why does mine have the title 'Switch Princess'?" Both girls looked at Alex for answers, who was sweating up a storm. How could he tell them? He didn't check the girl's statuses since getting the title function, so he didn't know Rias still got the 'Switch Princess' title. Alex did however promise himself to play with her tits a bit more the next time they were together, who knew if there actually was a hidden benefit of the title. He quickly came up with something to dismiss their questions, and explained the jobs.

"The jobs will help you gain more skills in the future and help you grow, you can gain more jobs through your actions and any abilities you pick up." With Alex's explanation, Yue looked at her job list before shooting the simplest one, 'Master Mage'.

[NOTICE, magic has gone up and the skill 'Magic Sight' has been added.]

When she told them the new skill she obtained, Alex couldn't help but feel a little envious. The ability to actually see magic could be pretty over powered depending on how one used it, and would probably be something that would make her unbeatable against other mages. After a little bit more talking about how to use her new system, Alex sent everyone to explore the hideout and see if there were any improvements that needed to be made immediately. He knew "Hero" group would enter the labyrinth any day now, and wanted to start working to prepare.

After the girls left Alex himself called up his status, ready to choose not only his next job, but his next power from the shop.

Alex was torn on what job to choose, while he also ignored those weird jobs. He could feel his heart bleed with this choice, but decided it would be best after facing someone who could control minds since his devils charm can help him resist such powers. He then chose the 'Demonic Charmer' job, and could feel as if he was about to cough blood from how he had to pass up other ones.

[NOTICE, 'Devil's Charm' and 'Dragon Demons Breath' has increased!]

He should have figured he wouldn't get a new skill from that, but if it helped prevent him from being controlled in the future then it might be worth it. What surprised Alex was that his 'DDB' also increased, but it was also a demon related skill so that was probably why it was included.

Done with the new job, Alex then opened the system shop to get a new ability. He already had one in mind, and was still depressed he couldn't get it before. He went straight to it, and purchased Haki.

[NOTICE, Haki added!]

Lauren then started explaining what getting Haki meant.

'The ability itself simply allows you to train Haki regardless of what world you are in, and doesn't automatically grant you all types of it. For example if you're not compatible with 'Conquerers' Haki you can't train in it. But like others in the One Piece world you may have a talent in a certain type, like Observation or Armament Haki, that would allow you to excel in that regard. As for what ones you're compatible with, you'll have to find out through practice.' Alex smiled and fake pouted,

'Ah come on Lauren, at least give me a hint!' Alex could have sworn there was a teasing tone in her voice as she replied,

'No means no, or are you a little kid? Go try it yourself, there's plenty of monsters to experiment on.' They went back and forth for a few minutes before Alex finally left the room, and assisted the girls with checking out the hideout.
